Candy Corn Sugar Cookies Recipe

Finally! A Candy Corn post!! I have been seeing all sort of candy corn themed crafts and recipes. While I have been trying to think of something to make, the thing is… I don’t really love candy corn. I mean, it’s ok but I would much rather have the chocolate miniatures. ::shhh:: I DO, however, love the color combination – it just screams Fall and these Candy Corn Sugar Cookies fit the bill and are a lot of fun to make.

I have seen these in magazines and on Pinterest over the past couple of years and I thought they should be easy enough to do so I just winged it. I doubled a basic sugar cookie dough recipe, and divided it into thirds so I could create the orange and yellow layers.

“Orange” ya’ glad I didn’t show red in this picture?? A little food coloring and some folding and kneading created the perfect yellow and orange doughs. Gloves are recommended! It really didn’t take more than 5 minutes for each color.

Once that was done, I lined a loaf pan with parchment paper and pressed in the “white” cookie dough first to make an even layer. Next the orange layer and then the yellow. I pressed a layer of cling wrap into the surface to seal it and chilled it for a few hours.

Then it was as easy as slicing a layer and cutting into triangles. Genius, right? Sprinkle with a little sugar, bake and all set. So fun!

The boys have already gotten their hands on a lot of these but the great thing is that the recipe yields about 50 so I still have time to freeze some to save for Halloween. 😉

The recipe is below. Have you made any candy corn crafts or treats? Let me know so I can add them to my Halloween Pinterest Board!

I can’t believe it took me this long to stop by and comment on these, Claire…I’ve been seeing them all over the blogosphere this week and they are too cute for words! I love candy corn-looking decor and treats. These are the perfect Halloween cookies in my book! 🙂

I have seen these around but didn’t know they were yours, Claire! I’ve been so busy lately that I’m behind on reading my favorite girls’ blogs. So glad you shared them at Saturday Night Fever this week! Love these cute cookies!

These are so cute, Claire! I remember trying to make these a few Halloweens ago- mine were not nearly as perfect as your’s though, lol! 😉
Thank you so much for sharing them at the HalloWonderful Link Party this week!
